Can the pre-treatment exam be done by telehealth in Kansas?
Intake · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — telemedicine may establish a valid provider-patient relationship, and remote care is held to the same standards of practice and conduct as in-person care, but no cited rule addresses the pre-treatment exam itself.
Telemedicine may be used to establish a valid provider-patient relationship.

A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened.
